Email to New Culture Forum, from a concerned citizen

 Dear New Culture Forum,



I am a great admirer of your channel on YouTube, but was bemused by a recent piece you ran on the Telford grooming scandal. I missed the names of the two guests, but I gather one is a pundit and one a politician.

You discussed the Telford situation, as disgraceful as it is, for almost 12 minutes, and you did not once mention Tommy Robinson's video, nor Peter McLoughlin's book Easy Meat.

The only time Robinson was mentioned was when the woman said 'Tommy Robinson types' and the guy with the specs said 'Right-wing nutters'.

As a 'Right-wing nutter', myself, and having once been fired from a job for taking one simple phone call from Robinson, I appreciate the problem of association with a tainted brand. I am one, writing as I do for American Renaissance, Counter Currents, VDare, Taki's Magazine, New English Review and The Occidental Observer. People like yourselves are wary of even replying to people like me. I wonder if you will acknowledge this email...

I am currently having the same problem with Laurence's Fox's Reclaim Party. They won't speak to me, despite my obvious championing of their recent documentary Groomed. I would say the same thing to you I said to Fox. You will never be important enough to make big political deals with the devil, but on the way to wherever you are going, you will need to make lots of little deals with lots of little devils. People like Robinson. And like me.

You have a great channel with excellent guests. Peter Whittle is the ideal host. Hitchens Minor, Simon Webb, Kelly-Jay Keen, all great and vital interviews. But you would never have Robinson on, I suspect. Toby Young displays the same ambivalence. I asked him many times whether he would allow Robinson to join the Free Speech Union. Answer came there none.

When you fight for free speech, it is not just the right of some dullard to post transgender memes on a gormless idiot's agora like Twitter that you are going out to bat for. You get people like Robinson and me, too. We are part of the package.

That said, keep up the good work.

You can read a piece of mine on Robinson's video here.
